Your wings are ready , set yourself free
Heed the call and take a leap of faith
Jump off the nest and move with the wind
Leave the past behind
Have complete trust in the power of your new found wings
Rise above the shadows of doubt that blind your heart
And go set go
Sit on the weakest  branches, without fear of falling
Stand on the tallest buildings and enjoy the best views
Rise to the infinite sky with clear vision and  focus .        
Soar higher and higher to new heights
Feel the rays of the summer sun
Kiss every flower in the open field
Fly child, fly

Darling, you and I are glitches in this matrix. And this love is the holy grail that's why fighting for us feels like world War III.

You see right through me
Yeah, you live right within me
The fibre of my bone
The beat of my heart
Your love is slow poison to my spirit
I'm chocking in Supreme bliss barely breathing
Everytime we merge I feel like I'm transmuting
Sky diving in divine ecstasy
Man, how can love give me life so good it kills me inside
Oh! this will be the end of me
Best believe you've got the best of me

I see Paradise in your eyes
Where we die together and live forever

Down memory lane is an old town house called the Past
Constructed with age old events
Painted with long held beliefs and furnished with yester memories
Hope any time you revisit the town you'll pass by with your head held high, beaming smile on your face
and a clear understanding of
that was then and this is now

Each time our eyes met
Two worlds collided
You could tell what we were feeling
was beyond our control
Just like that I fell for you and you crushed for me
Everything flashed in front of us
Like a long lost memory coming back to light
And we are just picking up from where we left
This is a story, written in the stars
Two destined hearts meant to come together as one

Greetings from the otherside,
Hope this letter finds you well
You know it would have been easier if you were one of us.. Maybe we sit down and have a one on one
Perhaps you could also have a gist of what it feels like to be swept of your feet without prior notice, you know?
Anyway I'm guessing your quite busy on your mission, collecting hearts with a bow and an arrow
What a love spell you got going on..
Strangers become soulmates
Friends turn into lovers
Even rivaling kingdoms unite all in the name of love
But I bet you are aware it's not always a bed of roses
Actually you already know some of us have had it rough one our end
We've experienced the darkside of cupid, as I would call it, some prefer the term "alien love bite".. but boy oh boy It's one hell of a ride ey?
From misguided minds, bleeding hearts, to fallen souls and
Shattered spirits, I mean all in the name of love you say huh?
So tell me, if it's not you then who is really sitting at the two ends of the table playing chess with with our hearts or rather who is really pulling the strings?
Maybe just maybe, you should try and reconsider a revision of this contracts so that way we could all settle scores
And make this game of love a win-win
Just hoping next time while you gamble with our hearts and aim for the perfect shot
Pause for a second or two and consider whether it's a miss or a match
For love's sake
Thanks, until next time

Your worth is as Clear as every sunrise
And sure as every sunset. Count on it.

Their hearts begged the heavens for them to meet. But not a single hello came from him or her when they  finally met. Just Silence, shattering hopes of a besought desire fulfilled .

A flower in hand, I mastered the quintessence.

Even the earth struggles with finite woes when the horizon calls like a distant dream. Leaving our unchatered minds to imagine beyond the vastness. Secrets of the stars,  and rhythm of the auroras.
A timeless wonder indeed! Inspiring the  adventures of men in the moon, space and beyond.
Nevertheless, the infinite depth of what was, what is and what will be will forever remain is to uphold
And even though the cosmos may seem so far. Every being knows its path beneath the sun. For each footstep, big or small, strong or fragile. It found the courage to grow and stand tall
Through valleys of doubt, over mountains of fear,
With every stride, the path becomes clear.
Each step a story, a dream taking flight,
A journey unfolding, from darkness to light.
The ground may tremble, the winds may howl,
Every bruise, every scar, a mark of grace,
That shows the courage to continue the race.
No matter the size, no matter the pace,
The steps we take, leave an indelible trace.
For every challenge, we find the strength to stand,
Each footstep a testament to the soul’s command.
Finding  a place admist eternal praise.

Confetti rains with giggles loud,
Naughty gestures, cheeky and proud.
A peek-a-boo that sparks delight,
A vibrant pack, ready to ignite.

You’re a kaleidoscope in a dull gray scene,
With shades of mischief—bold and keen.
Life’s a party with you around,
In your colorful chaos, joy is found.

We run from love's warm embrace,
Though our hearts yearn to be near,
We whisper a cautious no,
While longing for what’s clear.

In the dance of hearts and minds,
With missteps that leave us torn,
The princess lost her charming prince,
In the silence of love’s dawn.

A chance lost to the days.
In silence, we mourn the path
That led us far away—
A dream once held so closely,
Now just a shadowed sway.
In shadows we often tread,
We glance and hope for contact,
Yet fear the words unsaid.

So let us dare to speak,
To bridge the gaps we create,
For in the honesty of words,
True love awaits, not fate.

Hungry hearts starve, yet never feed.  They take, they give- then crave once more.

The mind, a labyrinth of mystery,
A riddle for the essence of being.
Thoughts cascade, a torrent of wonder,
Ideas intertwine, forging new paths.

Guard it from  the sway of opinion,
Embrace the awe in every potential.
Never underestimate its vast greatness;
In the depths of your mind, let brilliance awaken.
Explore the corners of what’s yet to be.
Unravel the stories that linger like ghosts,
Unearth hidden treasures, the things you love most.
Unleash your greatness

Like a wick in wax,
Ignite my soul,
Let’s dance in the fire,

Where passion burns
With every flicker bright,
Our spirits intertwine,
In this sacred light,
Your heart beats with mine.

Embers whisper secrets,
In the warmth we find,
A love that never wanes,
Eternal and unconfined.

Like a wick in wax.
Ignite my soul
And lets dance in the fire

The ocean gives you love, peace and freedom all at once.

What if I told you, in whispered night,
That shadows of longing still dance in light?
In the quiet moments when time stands still,
I find echoes of you, a heart to fill.

Back then, we were dreamers, two souls in flight,
Chasing the stars, lost in our delight.
But seasons have changed, and paths drift apart,
Yet your memory lingers, a flame in my heart.

What if I told you, I wanted you then,
In laughter and silence, in now and again?
A truth woven softly in threads of the past,
A whisper of “what if” that’s bound to last.

So here in the twilight, I stand, ever near,
Carrying wishes wrapped tight in my fear.
What if I told you, in moments divine,
That wanting you now feels like crossing a line?

Feelings were more than flesh and skin
But something deeper
That lingers like echoes in the sea
  ask for more, not just a longing, not just a need
  With the weight of silence draped in stars
Entwined like roots that grow from planted seed, something steady
  something free
  Something more for love to and burn
Feelings were more than flesh and skin,
But something deeper,
That lingers like echoes in the sea,
Asks for more, not just a longing, not just a need
With the weight of silence draped in stars.
Entwined like roots that grow from planted seed,
Something steady, something free,
Something more for love to tend and burn,
A flame that bends but never fades,
A current pulling hearts in turn.
Not just fleeting embers in the night,
But constellations carved in time,
A love that hums in whispered light,
Soft, eternal, and sublime.

In a *** of dreams, where flavors twirl and spin,
If you’re bold enough to stir, be ready for the grin.
Taste the broth, let your senses swoon,
Just don’t forget, dear Finder—lick the spoon!

What an old soul you are,
Donned in leather that strikes tales of time
Cool tie and rocky shoes,
Leaves the girls smitten, caught in your gleam.
A presence that that feels like a rhyme
Is it your poise or charisma that draws them near? I ponder

Your mad hatter jokes weave laughter like art,
To what do I owe this delightful cheer?
A dance with you was never my intent.
With a glass down, I fix my flair,
Ready to strut to your grooves embrace,
“Shall we?” you say, each pun in sync,
A wink and a smile, together with a tip on the hat.

“Be mine for the night,” you say it with a smize
“If and only if we dance till the dawn breaks!” I reply
Laughter ensues and you pull me in,
Cheek to cheek, in this moment, we’re drawn.

Must be the wine, or is it the gentlemans pride, I ponder. You pull me in more and set loose for a little twirl.  We glide across the floor
Transforming the night.

The music spins and thrills. Slow and steady, we move on the edge
Glowing under the disco’s ball , letting the shadows sway
You pause and time stands still 
A grip on the guitar
with every strum you play.
A melody adored, an echo of the past,
In your music, it binds
Time gently unwinds
In the rhythm of your grace

I want you all to myself. Just the two of us wrapped in each others arms. Drenching in divine ecstasy as we melt into one form

I stand on the road,
One foot ahead, where the wild winds blow.
A suitcase in one hand, dreams tucked inside,
A thumb raised high, with the world as my guide.

Eager for a cruise with a heart to discover,
Each mile a whisper, as I search for my lover.
With stars as our compass and the sea as our song,

Only his mind can unravel my mysteries. A symphony for the silence between stars.

Soon you will realize that the inner critic grew a large tall trunk with thorny branches. Entangled your inners and is now playing monsters in your head. Casting its shadows of doubt, despair and hoplessness.

Thus be wary of the inner critic, and tread carefully in its waters. For what may seem innocuous can turn detrimental.  Shattering dreams and ambitions, leaving you in a never ending quagmire.

But darling, I cried as I watched the ocean waves gently kiss the sand, each crest revealing secrets of longing and love. The salty breeze wrapped around me like a familiar embrace.

With each wave that rolled in, I felt my heart break open, the water drawing out my sorrow and returning it transformed

In that fragile moment, I understood—just as the tides ebb and flow, so too do our emotions, forever intertwined with the vastness of the world around us.

Sun addled brain seems aloft
Is it red,green or yellow?
Like a clown and his perks
Bright technicolour with a grin so wide
It flips, it spins, no sign of despair


A coat of many colours
Any dream will do
Toss a coin to find a clue
A kiss under the mistletoe
Drop a tear in the ocean
Maybe a bounty on the shooting star
The finders keepers
Loosers weepers

Patchwork of life, that holds today or tomorrow
If it fits,it ships
A one of a kind and the ony one too
A coat of many colours
Any dream will do

If you're willing to question the wilt of the rose, then you never deserved to have had it at it's bloom.

I never knew our hearts were travelers,
fated to meet in the fleeting embrace of time,
yet racing through the moments of life.
You, sat by the window,( train in motion)
one hand on the pane, eyes tracing horizons.

And there I stood, luggage in hand,
lost in the warmth of your gaze,
wondering how I missed the whispers
of destiny in the rush.

The train pulled away from the station,
a heartbeat lost in the distance.
Tell me, beloved, will our paths cross again,
or are we but shadows in the twilight,
woven together in the tapestry of dreams?

Lighting strikes in crimson hues
Spiral dance, in untamed grace
Order bending,shifting space
A symphony of wild and free
take a trip down through my spiral lanes
and make love to my outermost body
Fill my soul  and  ignite my spirit

Our love unfolds in the shadow of the tempest
Fractured glass reflects the sky
Shattered yet it multiplies
For even in the roaring tide
A storm that sings
A whirlwind that whispers
Two souls entwine beyond the night

The ocean a mirror, whole yet always broken.

Unspoken soul and a restless heart that echoes tenderness, yet beats untamed.  I see myself beyond the water's gaze.

The waves bring me back to shoreline. Safe and sound. I sync into the ebb and flow unwinding the mind

The clouds hoover, filled with vengeance and wrath the ocean roars. A mystery of the tide, that reflects the higher highs and lower lows.  I watch from a distant as I ponder over it.

The ocean a mirror whole yet always broken

My feet at the shore line met a match so true, and much more in between. Mind synced, eyes spoke. But soon the waves seemed to crash our sand-castled dream, much left was our hearts going against the grain.

If east or west home is best, then surely our love shall find its way back home.

It's torrents and whirlwind
In this mind field
That I lay bare with my soul churn
Agony written in my heart
Pain cuts deep to my bone
Aches to name the weight that bends my will

How I wish could quiet a thousand voices
Each one brut but none my own
Lost in a maze,  silence ensued
A whisper feels too loud
Caged in my own battleground
Couldn't find the words to roar
It clings, persistent like the flow of a river cutting through the earth's veins

Eyes wide but drowning,a tide made of thoughts
Silence becomes a scream
If only peace could drip through these cracked dry seams
And hold the ache until it's still
For now I'll let the chaos gnaw
These fragments of a soul in fight
Waiting for  the right words to flow
To piece me whole and soothe the ache

It's torrents and whirlwind
In this mind field
That I lay bare with my soul churn
Agony written in my heart
Pain cuts deep to my bone
Aches to name the weight that bends my will
